๐ŸŒŸ ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜„: I wasnโ€™t sure I was going to like this book. Iโ€™m a frugal girly, so I give trad-published books a little bit extra scrutinyโ€ฆ and this one stood up to it. 

I was skeptical because it seemed a little too much like Tessa Baileyโ€™s It Happened One Summer, but the more that I read the more I fell in love. Melanie and Evan are two great, multifaceted characters. They are easy to fall for.

Once I got to the 50% mark in this one, I couldnโ€™t put it down. Iโ€™m excited to pick up the others in the series - rest assured, this can be read as a standalone, because I had no idea it was even in a seriesโ€ฆ woops!
